Used BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo for Sale

BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Engine Information

Renowned for refined engineering, BMW has a choice of impressive engines in the 3 Series Gran Turismo. Of course, if you’re looking for more power behind the wheel, the petrol variants offer impressive torque, particularly the 340i model.

Its 2.0-litre petrol engine is a favourite, and this comes with a few different bhp options. Topping this engine range is the 245bhp variant providing a punchy 6.1 seconds on the 0-62mpg sprint. 

For drivers looking to clock up the motorway miles and keep fuel costs down as much as possible, BMW’s diesel 3 Series GT is a top choice. While they might not provide the same finesse as petrol power, performance is still more than reasonable, especially with higher mpg on offer. Popular options in the diesel range include the 2.0-litre 318d, 320d and 325d. But for more oomph, the six-cylinder 330d and 335d also prove a big hit.

BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Practicality and Running Costs

For drivers that love the BMW 3 Series Saloon but need more space, a used 3 Series Gran Turismo offers that additional practicality. There’s more space for passengers, and the boot is bigger even compared to rivals.

Similar to the 3 Series Saloon, the front cabin space is pretty much identical. But due to a longer wheelbase, passengers in the back have more room to stretch out. The boot capacity sits at 520 litres (more with the seats down). Plus, it opens wide, so getting things in and out is easy. 

BMW scores highly when it comes to fuel economy in both its petrol and diesel variants. If you’re travelling regular long journeys, opting for a diesel model is where you’ll see the most mpg. Official figures are 56mpg, but realistically you’ll see around 50mpg on most journeys, which is still impressive. Petrol options don’t fare too badly either, with its entry-level model coming in at around 40mpg.

BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo Interior, Technology and Safety

Inside the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, it has a similar vibe to the Saloon. The dashboard and interior finish resemble the saloon model and feature a central infotainment system. Overall, the materials used offer a premium feel. There’s also a choice of trim levels with varying extras as you move up a level. 

Entry-level BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo SE models come with features such as dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth and parking and rain sensors. The Sport trim adds Drive Performance Control with different driving modes. Plus, there are a few extra sporty accents. Moving to the M Sport upgrade has more features, including aerodynamic body styling. 

Tech-wise, this model comes with BMW’s navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity. Some driver assistance features are optional, but stability control and six airbags come as standard.

BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo History

The 3 Series Gran Turismo made its debut in the market in 2013. Offering a larger version of the 3 Series range alongside some sporty and practical additions, this model proved a hit, especially with family and business drivers. In addition, the model was presented with numerous engine choices, including BMW’s popular diesel variant. The range also includes a four-wheel drive option.

Three years after it appeared, the second generation GT fastback version was introduced. With higher quality materials inside and dynamic exterior styling updates, this model offers drivers the brand’s premium looks with powerful, fuel-efficient engines for ultimate comfort and driveability.

This car performs well for reliability and customer satisfaction. At Group 1 BMW, all of our Approved Used BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo cars come with full Approved Used benefits including a full year’s MOT, 12-month breakdown cover, 12-month unlimited mileage BMW warranty and a full service history.

When buying a used 3 Series Gran Turismo, make sure you see a full-service history first. Well-maintained engines will be more reliable. But watch out for issues with the suspension, water pump, engine oil, and coolant leaks. Diesel models are also fitted with a diesel particulate filter, which can become blocked. 

Overall, be sure to look out for interior damage and exterior scuffs. Ensure lights and electrics are working, and check that no engine management lights are on. BMWs generally have run-flat tyres too. So check recent tyre replacements haven’t disturbed the tyre pressure monitor. 

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about this when purchasing an Approved Used 3 Series Gran Turismo from Group 1 BMW.
